Hamilton Beach Fresh Grind Electric Coffee Grinder

If you want to start simplifying your kitchen, find appliances that can do multiple jobs, like a coffee grinder. Of course, it can grind your coffee beans, but it can also be used to grind spices, herbs, and nuts, making it as much a part of your dinner plans as your morning brew.

Ninja DT201 Foodi 

If you want a real workhorse in the kitchen, look no further than the Ninja DT201. This 10-in-1 countertop appliance can eliminate the need for a separate toaster oven, toaster, and air fryer, while also giving you the convenience of a small conventional oven.

Utopia Home Fridge Organizer Bins

Similar to your cupboards, the fridge can quickly become a No Man’s Land when it comes to finding food. Fridge bins help clutter and eliminate the guesswork of what is actually in the fridge. These bins are also great for meal prep, as you can store each day’s ingredients in an individual bin and simply pull that specific one out when it’s time to start cooking.

NETANY Glass Spice Jars

The spice cabinet can easily get out of control — less used spices often sit in the back, and there may be two or three bottles of your favorite spices because you couldn’t remember if you ran out. Keep track of your spices by streamlining them into matching jars that are easily labeled to eliminate confusion.
